We can observe its immensity, we can discern its extent and sense its majestic dimensions, but little more is known about these realms. As far as we know, no material beings on the order of humans, no angel or other spirit creatures, exist in this outer ring of nebulae, suns, and planets.
The physicists of Uversa calculate that the energy and matter of these outer and uncharted regions equal many times the total material mass and energy charge embraced in all seven superuniverses.
A greater creation of the future is forming.
Welcome to the four Outer Space Rings!
The Grand Universe is surrounded by the ancestors of a series of starry and planetary clusters which completely encircle the present inhabited creation as concentric rings of outer universes upon universes.
Our telescopes reveal millions upon millions of physical universes forming. Most of these starry realms are in Orvonton, but the larger telescopes penetrate far beyong the borders of the Grand Universe into the domains of Outer Space, where untold unviverses are in the process of organization.
Type: Planet 606/617
Inhabitants: Nearly 7,000,000,000
It is just 993,408 years ago (from the year A.D. 1934) that Urantia was formally recognized as a planet of human habitation in the universe of Nebadon. Biologic evolution had once again achieved the human levels of will dignity; man had arrived on planet 606 of Satania.
This is the world of your origin.2,500,000,000 years ago Urantia was one tenth its present size.
1,000,000,000 years ago is the date of the actual beginning of Urantia history, and about this time it was given its name, URANTIA.
550,000,000 years ago life was initiated on Urantia by The Life Carriers.
450,000,000 years ago the transition from vegetable to animal life occurred.
Urantia is the 606th out of 617* inhabited planets in the planetary group, or local system, of Satania.
A completed local system encompassas 1000 inhabited worlds. *Our system, being a relatively newer one, is incomplete.
Type: Solar System One of 500+
Inhabited Worlds: 1
The 5 inner and 5 outer planets formed from the cooling and condensing nucleuses in the less massive and tapering ends of the gigantic gravity bulge which Angona had succeeded in detaching from the sun, while Saturn and Jupiter were formed from the more massive and bulging central portions.
The powerful gravity pull of Jupiter and Saturn early captured most of the material stolen from Angona as the retrograde motion of certain of their satellites bears witness.
5 trillion years ago the sun was a comparatively isolated blazing orb, having gathered to itself most of the near-by circulating matter of space, remnants of the recent upheaval which attended its own birth.
4,500,000,000 years ago a great column of solar gases arose during the collision with the near-by Angona system, which separated from the sun and evolved into the 12 planets.
3,500,000,000 years ago Jupiter, Saturn and the other ten planets were well formed. This age may be regarded as the era of planetary assembly.
3,000,000,000 years ago the solar system was functioning much as it does today and about this time our solar system was placed on the registry of Nebadon and givin its name, Monmatia.
Monmatia is one of over 500 inhabited physical systems in the local system of Satania.
Type: Local System 24/100
Inhabited Worlds: 619
Headquarters: Jerusem
A Local System, the basic unit of supergovernment, consists of up to 1000 inhabited or inhabitable worlds. Each inhabited planet is presided over by a Planetary Prince, and each local system has an architectural sphere as its headquarters and is ruled by a System Sovereign.
Lanaforge, the successor of Lucifer, is Satania's present System Sovereign. Lanaforge possseses all the power and excercises all the authority of his unworthy predecessor except for certain matters now under the supervision of the Constellation Fathers.
Satania is composed of over 7,000 astronomical groups, or physical systems.
Its 619 inhabited worlds are located in over 500 different physical systems.
Only 5 have more than 2 inhabited worlds, and of these only 1 has 4 peopled planets, while there are 46 having 2 inhabited worlds.
Satania is local system number 24 out of 100 in the constellation of Norlatiedek.
Type: Constellation 70/100
Inhabitable Worlds: 100,000
Headquarters: Edentia
Our Constellation has an architectural headquarters sphere called Edentia and is presided over by three Vorondadek Sons, the Most Highs. Our constellation government is situated in a cluster of 771 architectural spheres, the centermost and largest of which is Edentia, which is approximately one hundred times as large as your world. The 70 major spheres surrounding Edentia are about ten times the size of Urantia, while the 10 satellites which revolve around each of these 10 worlds are about the size of Urantia.
Our constellation, Norlatiadek, consists of 100 systems and is number 70 in the universe of Nebadon.Type: Local Universe 84/100
Inhabitable Worlds: 10,000,000
Headquarters: Salvington
Salvington is our local universe headquarters world and is ruled by a Creator Son of God of the order of Michael.
Our Creator, with the universe presence of the Infinite Spirit Mother, established the inhabited realms and diverse retinue of spirit personalities.
Besides the seraphic and mortal orders, there are numerous additional beings concerned in the maintenance and perfecting of such a gigantic organization as the universe of Nebadon.
About 400,000,000,000 years ago Michael of Nebadon, a Creator Son of Paradise, selected the Andronover nebula as the site of his adventure in universe building.
It took almost 1 million years to complete the architectural worlds of Salvington and the 100 constellation headquarters groups of planets.
After the universe and constellation headquarters worlds were completed work began on the local system headquarters planets, completed about 5 billion years ago.
At last registry there were 3,840,101 inhabited planets in Nebadon, with 10 million in prospect.
The Nebadon day is equal to 18 days and 6 hours of Urantia time, plus 2.5 minutes. The Nebadon year is about 5 years of Urantia time.
Nebadon is number 84 in the minor sector of Ensa.
Type: Minor Sector 3/100
Inhabitable Worlds: 1,000,000,000
Headquarters: Uminor the 3rd
Uminor the third, the headquarters of the minor sector Ensa, is surrounded by the 7 spheres of the higher physical studies of the ascendant life and the entrance schools of the superuniverse.
On these worlds ascending mortals carry on studies of the sciences of the techniques of intelligent energy control and transmutation. The governments of the minor sectors are largely concerned with the great physical problems of the superuniverse and are under immediate jurisdiction of the major sector rulers.
Type: Major Sector 5/10
Inhabitable Worlds: 100,000,000,000
Headquarters: Umajor the 5th
Umajor the fifth is surrounded by the 70 spheres of the advancing intellectual training of the superuniverse. The 70 satellites of Umajor the fifth are devoted to your superuniverse intellectual training and development.
Most of the training of ascending mortals is conducted on the 70 study worlds. You will have to pass through every one of the 10 major divisions of our superuniverse. You will see all 30 of the Orvonton Perfections of Days before you reach Uversa.
Type: Superuniverse 7/7
Inhabitable Worlds: 1 Trillion
Headquarters: Uversa
Uversa, the headquarters of the superuniverse Orvonton, is the spiritual and administrative headquarters for approximately 1 trillion inhabited or inhabitable worlds.
Uversa is surrounded by the 7 higher universities of advanced spiritual training for asceding will creatures. Each of these 7 clusters of wonder spheres consists of 70 specialized worlds containing thousands upon thousands of institutions and organizations devoted to universe training and spirit culture.
Practically all of the starry realms visible to the naked eye on Urantia belong to the seventh section of the grand universe, the superuniverse of Orvonton.
Orvonton is illuminated and warmed by more than 10 trillion blazing suns!
All sectors and divisions of Orvonton are in rotation around the headquarters world of Uversa.
The standard day of Orvonton is equal to almost 30 days of Urantia time. The Orvonton year equals one hundred standard days.
In Orvonton there are 100 octaves of wave energy, and of these, 64 are wholly or partially recognized on Urantia.
The foundation of the universe is material, but the essence of life is spirit. As Orvonton is unique in nature and individual in destiny, so also is each of its six associated superuniverses. The seven purposes of superuniverse evolution are operative throughout all seven superuniverses, but each supercreation will give fullest expression to only one of these purposes.
Type: Superuniverses + Central Universe 1/1
Inhabited Worlds(7 Superuniverses): 7 Trillion + Architectural Spheres
Inhabited Worlds(Central Universe): 1 Billion Perfect Worlds
The superuniverses are ruled and administered indirectly and reflectively from Paradise by the Seven Master Spirits.
The billion wolrds of Havona are directly administered by the Eternals of Days, one such Supreme Trinity Personality presiding over each of these perfect spheres.
The seven superuniverses cycle around Paradise and Havona in a counterclockwise procession called the superuniverse space level.
The seven superuniverses are finite, evolutionary, and consistently progressive.
The only creation that is perfectly settled is Havona, the central universe.
The Central Universe is not a time creation; it is an eternal existence.
At the center of Havona is the stationary and absolutely stabilized and perfect Isle of Paradise, surrounded by its 21 perfect satellites.
Type: Central Universe 1/1
Inhabited Worlds: 1 Billion
This is the one and only settled, perfect, and established aggregration of worlds. This is a wholly created and perfect universe; it is not an evolutionary development. This is the eternal core of perfection.
The billion spheres of the central universe are the training worlds of the high personalities native to Paradise and Havona and further serve as the final proving grounds for ascending creatures from the evolutionary worlds of time.
The Center 1/1
Paradise serves many purposes in the administration of the universal realms, but to creature beings it exists primarily as the dwelling place of Diety.
Here is God personally, literally, and actually present. And from his infinite being there flow the flood-streams of life, energy, and personality to all universes.
